    ouch... im shocked the airbags didnt pop... car totally fucked or just a little fucked? If it drove on the trailer itself, its still alive... if they loaded it with a forklift(saw this with a C7 Corvette at Ozark in May) its probably big fucked...

    Bulk Rifle Brass Processing Neck Expansion

    The M-die doesnt have any options for size IIRC... i.e. you order a .223, 308, etc... and you get what you get... With the 21st century you can measure what you need for your neck tension and order that mandrel. I have an m-die for 300blk loading since I load a lot of cast projectiles that...

    This: https://21stcenturyinnovation.com/buy-online/ols/products/expander-die-body Plus whatever mandrel you need... in .0005 increments... I process on a Dillon with their trim die and use this afterwords to set the neck. Dillon trim dies are cut with the same cutter as their sizing...

    Spicy grudge race tonight between Cleetus and Grannas racing for $15k

    geebus... IIRC there is a form of "fencing" in front of the bleachers because they are literally track side... I mean like the front row can prop their legs up on the sides of the track. And the track is nowhere near as wide as a current NHRA track...maybe half that wide. Like lets say 3 cars...

    Spicy grudge race tonight between Cleetus and Grannas racing for $15k

    The safest place to stand at yello belly is well back from the starting line where everybody is betting. Ill take my chances getting shot back there vs. getting hit by a car being further down the track... Hell I think street racing is safer than Yello Belly.

    Self-proclaimed Pit Masters of SH- I've got some questions

    I think I did half apple cider vinegar and half apple juice...There may have been some salt, dont remember. Was supposed to be 24 hour brine, but I think it turned into like 3-4 days LOL...

    Self-proclaimed Pit Masters of SH- I've got some questions

    The last pork loins I did I think I brined them to long... they turned into ham...or I guess Canadian bacon. Was still good, but not what I was going for.

    Self-proclaimed Pit Masters of SH- I've got some questions

    why would you toothpick test ribs? Bone pull back is a far easier method. At LEAST the distance of the diameter of the bone.

    I have seen that one. I wouldnt personally build the car like that guy did, but thats just me. There's better ways to do a few things they did.

    Yea GridLife and I think he runs unlimited class. SCCA "rules" is a huge reason I dont auto-x or go to any SCCA events. I just want to go out and have fun and their 900000 car classifications and people getting all uppity about shit is why I wont go. I took my Miata to auto-x last year and I...

    ive done some searching on it and im just not seeing it be a widespread issue... And i wouldnt expect anything to live during an over rev... Certainly nothing to the level of like the LS7 valve guide issue. Lots of guys running the stock LS3/LSA valves to 7500+ RPM so im not terribly...

    brand new car urge

    Im the opposite for ring seating in particular. 4-5 heat cycles and rings are seated so they need a little pressure and a some vacuum. Also good luck on the brake burnishing procedure... its a beast on the carbon brakes. You arent going to upset that car by getting into the power with the...

    brand new car urge

    nothing is actually limited for the first 500 miles... trust me... Well supposedly 1st and 2nd have a little bit of torque limiting, but the car will go right past the "fake" redline during break in up to real red line. In auto mode it will shift at the lowered redline.

    Maggie’s Powder Valley Warehouse Burned Down

    I would call that good service, but I bet they didnt pay out $1 more than they absolutely had to via your policy declarations. You were likely, through your policy language, covered for all of that stuff otherwise they wouldnt have paid it. I have coverage for all of that kind of stuff also...
